The @IlhanMN @RashidaTlaib @repjohnlewis pro-BDS bill implicitly compares Israel to
* Nazi Germany
* Imperial Japan
* The USSR
All enemies of the US, 2 that the US actually defeated in war.
Israel is, of course, a US ally and basically always has been. Details, details.

As for the bill itself, no one is taking away Americans’ right to boycott Israel. Just like Americans have the right to be bigoted in other ways under the First Amendment, they can express hatred Israel & Jews. The government just doesn’t want to do business with you if you do.

It needs to be said that despite the above, this is a sickening response. Two wrongs don't make a right - don't fight bigotry with more bigotry. edition.cnn.com/videos/politic…
It’s funny how many times I get this response even though I said nothing of the sort and criticize my government fairly often. It’s almost as if people just want to delegitimize Israel and its defenders 🤔
